Michael Moore's "Sicko"

Why is the news story that preceded Moore's reaction so horrid? Why should that provoke such a reaction of anger?

I'm not trying to ask rhetorical questions, I'm serious.

I've never quite understood the angry reaction to debate, whether that be on Iraq, health care, gun control, or global warming. For example (and I haven't seen the movie), apparently Moore cites the WHO ranking of the US as 37th in health care. He praises Cuba's system. Cuba is ranked 39th on the same list. What's the problem in pointing that out? It's as if he doesn't want to engage in debate, he wants his position accepted without question.
